I like primitive sites (the simplicity inspires) & low res video (it rejects trendchasing & herd comfort). I dislike ubiquitous javascript (it normalised surveillance), defeatism (normalises self-sabotage) & soundbites (fashionable babble is not thought).

I always let anyone who answers a question I ask online away with as much condescension as they feel like so long as they actually answer the question and not answer a question they feel I should have asked instead.
Goes double if they still regularly answer the question despite being in continual contact with breathtakingly stupid motherfuckers.
Patience of a saint and tone of condescension aren't mutually exclusive.
And this was before slop.

Today I'm getting HIGH PRIORITY updates EVERY time my raincoat is brushing against my left wrist because I'm not wearing a watch all day today, which is breaking at least 2 decades of habit.
This is simultaneously funny and hellish.

If you look at a graph visualising a set of numbers, then decide to add an extra number (perhaps because there's money to be made), so just average them and include the new invention, the only thing that's achieved is a reason for people to distrust all the numbers.
Because it's unlikely before all this you checked none of the individual numbers equals the average of all the rest if its removed. To see that the you weren't first.
This is ALL of slop output to #AI training data loop, forever.

Friendship ended with The Imitation Game/Turing Test and Roko's Basilesk, "The goblins are running amok in our AI" is my new dismissal of Big Fashionable Grift.

Experimenting with filters settings, and to be positive about the results, filtering all posts to a website is possible, effective and satisfying.
It's laborious though, especially if I'd want usefully distinct labels so different websites trigger different filters descriptions.
This might be something a simple POSIX shell/bash/Python script can do, with the import/export functionality for the lists on instance software.
